  1. Sir John Valentine Carden survives.

    Alanbrooke used to infuriate Winston, for he quickly became wise to Winston's 'ways' and he made sure that all depts (related to the military) if they received such an 'end run' were to advise the CIGS and send the answer to him (unless it was one of WSCs madder missives in which case it got...
  2. A Hippie in the House of Mouse (Jim Henson at Disney, 1980)

    *whistles innocently* Like. May steal. Every day is "Soft Pitch" on AHitHoM. Any ideas you have, let me know. Hat tips are the only compensation.
  3. HMS EAGLE in the Falklands (Story Only)
    Threadmarks: Battle of San Carlos Part 3

    HMS INVINCIBLE Under his anti-flash hood, the Lt Cdr was sweating not because he was overheating but because he was right now a very busy and somewhat stressed man. As the Air Warfare Officer, he was the most senior of all the PWO’s onboard and was responsible for all things air related. Being...

    Might I suggest a different gun and gun mantel to further distinguish the turret and give you more work?
  8. Sweden-Norway joins the Second Schleswig War

    Sweden used minie ball rifled muskets with percussion locks, the same kind as Denmark, Britain and Austria used at this time - some of them were converted older rifles, but there were enough rifles to equip the whole army by 1862 or so. Still, as the Prussian were a generation head with...
  9. AHC: The Sea Raptor enters service

    During the late 1980s, a carrier-capable version of the F-22 was proposed under the Naval Advanced Tactical Fighter (NATF) program: https://www.sandboxx.us/blog/sea-raptor-the-navys-sweep-wing-f-22-that-wasnt-to-be/ The proposed fighter had swing-wings and would have used engines, avionics, and...
  10. Soviet Union with much less killed by Germany

    Because a higher rate of growth from a larger base means that the economic and social crises of 1953-8 and 1964-72 kick in earlier with a larger proletariat with larger demands. More workers mean stronger workers means larger demands means less willingness to put up with penury in order to...

    What if communism didn’t exist

    Yes, but it certainly takes communism to destroy success and have to start over from scratch. China managed that last part, Russia didn't. See this video by a good althistory Youtuber whose opinion I trust on this, and this lecture series by a Russian studies professor (pay particular attention...
  13. The Forge of Weyland

    How about a SheVa, armed a 16 in naval gun and powered with 4 nuclear reactors. ;):):p

    Alternate warships of nations

    I would go for 1940 American Marmon Herringtons for tanks. Small arms I would go RUSSIAN for the same year. Americans are not doing too good either. Not really. The good stuff does not really show up until 1941. Aircraft? Not knocking the French, or the Italians for first prize for terrible...
  15. The Bear and Eagle on the Nineveh Plains -- an alt-Middle East Collaborative Timeline

    That was in the 70s and that was because Pakistan looked like it was about to collapse. so encouraging baloch separatism would also weaken Iran.
  16. For All Mankind (AH Tv series at Apple TV)

    There seemed to be smoke in the cockpit before he ejected. Perhaps, but by the way things are going, I believe Reagan will get a second term against (maybe) Hart. The Panama rescue and the planned joint Soviet mission with Poole would seem like accomplishments. I doubt the writers would show a...
  17. Alternate warships of nations

    As a traitor or for real?
  18. What if communism didn’t exist

    Takes more than not being communist to have economic success.
  19. How important was the Dunkirk evacuation ?

    Wasn't Dunkirk only one of several successful evacuations (albeit the largest)? The BEF wouldn't have been completely taken, although the blow would be a heavy one.
  20. AHC: Peerless Air Ministry

    I believe this board did such in Agent Lavender in effect, though there Louis Mountbatten ensured HRH’s integrity with the public by acting as a cut out and by taking personal responsibility. He even ensured responsible government eventually resulted while using reserve powers that had been...
